I'm deciding between a $600 pair (lenses included) of Kio Yamatos OXs and whether or not to try Warby Parker which are priced at around $100. I know I would have to try the Warby Parker's on in person through online delivery and then send them back, etc. But in general if I find a style I like from Warby, are Kios worth 6x the price? Also most of the price of the Kios are the lenses, are lenses the same wherever I get them?

It is not that simple. I agree Warby Parker glasses are somewhat over rated. And they claim poly lenses are something special which they are not. But many people cannot afford to spend $500 on a pair of glasses. Further, someone who has a week prescription (say a -.50), no astigmatism, average size face with a 62PD, chances are Warby Parkers with their poly lenses will be just fine.

How do Warby frames compare to lower end Luxottica frames (e.g. Ray Bans)?

i think they are crap. They are my beach sunglasses. you cant beat the price on polarized lenses.

Yeah but, how big can the difference in quality be between plastic frames? I have Gucci (Safilo) sunglass frames and my previous optical frames were Prada (Luxottica). I don't notice any major difference in quality between the frames, even though the designer frames were at least twice the price of Warbys.

I also have pradas and the quality is much better then the warbys...idk they just feel cheap and one pair will be enough for me.
